From this afternoon under very gloomy clouds.

Managed to find a pair of Common Darters urgently trying to do their 'thing' and rattled off a good few shots of the full 'wheel' and some CU's.

This image is a 5 shot manual tiff stack in CS3 - that way I keep a 16bit Tiff, but CombineZM must be easier if a jpeg is all you want!

D2Xs + Sig 180mm macro
ISO 320
1/400 @ f8
Full frame height - cropped from LS to P

Thanks for looking :toast:

Just read more closely its CS3 so I can do it anyways, can't wait to try.
